Anxiety Doesn’t Mean You’re Broken – Mental Health

Anxiety does not mean you are broken. It means your body learned to be on guard for too long. What feels like weakness is actually survival — and survival is proof of your strength.

Anxiety is often misunderstood as fragility. In truth, it is the body’s attempt to protect against perceived danger. Recognizing anxiety as survival removes shame and opens pathways to healing. With tools and support, anxiety can be managed without self-judgment.
